Airway and Systemic Inflammation in Obese Children With Asthma

چکیده
METHODS. This retrospective review included subjects from 2 cross-sectional studies conducted to assess the relationship between pediatric asthma and adiposity. Selected patients underwent somatometric measurements and skinfold thickness–mediated body fat assessment at 4 sites. The International Obesity Task Force cutoff points were used to categorize patients as normal weight, overweight, or obese.

متن کاملIL-23 Gene and Protein Expression in Childhood Asthma
Background: Asthma is the chronic inflammation of airways characterized by eosinophilic infiltration, mucus overproduction, airway hyper-responsiveness and airway remodeling. These changes are induced mostly by cytokines which are produced by T helper (Th) 2 cells. Recently, the role of interleukin-23 (IL-23) in the pathogenesis of adultallergic asthma has been studied. Objective: To explore IL...
